Re: Resident Evil 5 Cheats and Codes

Cheat: Inventory Duplication

This requires two human players, local or Live (or two controllers / profiles).

1 // Start the game as usual. In the Inventory Lobby, remove everything you have, placing it into the secondary inventory.

2 // Have Chris add all the ammo into his carry case (this will be duplicated).

3 // Begin any Chapter but 1-1. Have Chris give all his ammo to Sheva.

4 // Have Sheva leave the game (it should say "All unsaved progress will be lost" -- select "Yes").

5 // After selecting "Yes," another question for Sheva will appear asking whether or not to save status and ammo. Choose "Yes," and you will have the ammo.

6 // Now, back to Chris: Quit out of the game, but at the second question, choose "No" and do not save ammo and status.

7 // Restart the game with the two characters and you'll both have the ammo. Duplication successful! (Note: You cannot do this with weapons as you cannot hand them off to your partner.)

Hint: Inventory Reload in Mercenaries Mode

In Mercenaries mode you can reload your weapon by pulling up your Inventory screen and combining the ammunition manually with the gun (using the "Move" command button). Once you get used to this, you can use it to your advantage since it is a lot faster then reloading your shotgun, for instance, on the fly. More importantly, you can use this trick while climbing a ladder or when you are a jumping down to really save some time -- and possibly your neck.

Hint: Discarding Weapons in Mercenaries Mode

In Mercenaries mode, ammunition drops are based on the type of weapons you have. Use this to your advantage by discarding weapons you don't use. This causes more ammunition to be dropped for other weapons. Example: For Wesker (Stars), drop the Samurai Edge to find more Magnum and Shotgun ammo.

Re: Resident Evil 5 Cheats and Codes

Hint: Unlocking the Infinite Rocket Launcher

To acquire the Infinite Rocket Launcher, you must achieve a total game time of under 5:00:00. You don't have to play the game all the way through in one run to get a low total time -- you can just go chapter by chapter, using the Chapter Select, lowering your time in each. Your final time is a total of your lowest runs through the chapters.

Easter Egg: Hidden Dialog

If you wait around long enough at the very beginning of Chapter 1-1, before any checkpoints, you will trigger a conversation between Sheva and Chris in which Chris gives a scathing critique of the American Dream.

Re: Resident Evil 5 Cheats and Codes

Hint: Avoid the Cage in 6-1

Upon starting this level you'll be able to climb to the top of the crow's nest to the left of your spawn point. From here you may snipe the enemy that operates the crane. Look for him under the arm of the crane by the controls to the upper left. This will allow you to skip the scene in which your partner gets trapped in the cage. You can also snipe the enemy half way up the ladder, and the one by the caged area. The latter is easier to shoot from the levels initial starting point. Note: this enemy drops a unique treasure, which you cannot get if you avoid the crane scene.
